If you could trace each tra­jec­tory lead­ing from the cre­ative soul of Nigerian-American entre­pre­neur, soft­ware engi­neer and poet, Uche Ogbuji, and illu­mi­nate them in light, you would have a super­nova of genius on your hands. Not only has he already made a name for him­self in the soft­ware world as an early (and well-published) adopter of XML, but he is now tak­ing on the poetry world by storm. And as if that isn’t enough, he is also found­ing engi­neer at Zepheira. In his spare time, he coaches and plays soc­cer, snow­boards and hones feats of mar­tial artistry through the medium of Amer­i­can kenpo. Niger­ian born, he now orbits near Boul­der, CO with his amaz­ing wife and four chil­dren. Uche Ogubji is poetry edi­tor at The Ner­vous Break­down. His poems are a wild hip-hop ride through Igbo cul­ture and West­ern clas­si­cism. Read about Uche’s lit­er­ary jump start at “The Anthill” in Nsukka, Nige­ria and more in Issue 2.
